Try to intimidate ( or was it eat?) the other dog that was barking but she REFUSED to go into the down position and ended up biting the trainer when he attempted to force her into a full out submissive position. Not badly (that I could tell) and he brushed it off when I asked him about it so here I am - looking like the psychotic dog woman - and now I'm CRYING which only makes me feel like more of an ass. Has anyone else had a dog act this way when pushed to do something they didn't want to (specifically a full out submissive postion I suppose, not something like 'sit')? Sam ended up pissing all over the guy as well as the floor however I do have to say when it was all said and done she sure was very quiet and submissive. I just feel so overwhelmed and like how do I know this is the 'right' thing to do (although I do not in anyway think the trainer was wrong - I'm just clueless about it all) and how to find a 'good' trainer - they were nice enough and I can go back to them but they are charging $45 got approx 4 1/2 hour sessions and they are about that far away - oh it's just all so confusing. Any thoughts?
